Thread: Ron Paul

I am Seventeen... the 2008 election is the first one I've been old enough to really truly care about. It's terrible to find myself in a position where i am physically incapable of doing anything about something i care so strongly about. this is fucking torture!!! sitting by with the keys in and the engine running but no possible way to put this bitch in drive!!! i also realize that there are so many people my age that i wouldn't want to vote before maturing some that i do not oppose our voting age one bit...

i also feel saddened that my would be choice for prez was thrown back into the lake of powerless citizens and out of the river to change so quickly... he never had a chance and i really think it's soley because he had what it would take to run a country... it takes a different kind of person to run a country... i think people do not know what to think when they see this kind of person because one doesn't encounter them often... Ron Paul is different... in a way that i think makes him a suitable figure head for a country... he seems to have this sense of urgency towards change and more importantly change for the absolute benefit of 1.) Americans, 2.) The rest of the world. realistically this is what matters most. first, get america straight, secondly help out other countries where it's truly needed and not because of how helpful it would be for your brother's oil stocks.

he straight up didn't give a shit about anything but what he felt was right and how it would affect the people. His most important notable characteristic is that he isn't afraid to say 'fuck that, it's wrong'.

i feel as if i identify with this guy... when i read shit he's written or see him in a video or on tv i think, "yeah i can connect with this, he has good and legitimate ideas." and no one will give him the time of day because he isn't an undercover communist... [figure of speech]

this is truly saddening.

Ron Paul's been out forever.

Get over it.

He's not even going to be on the ballot and if he does he'll get less votes than Ralph Nader. Get over it.

AH!

Don't stress over elections. Your vote doesn't mean shit.

*Moved to Senseless Banter

Well I guess considering I don't get to vote...

Lysergic, at least you can post your opinions on the internet. You can take comfort in that. What you say might affect the votes of more than one person.

But Ron Paul is finished. Don't worry about him.

He isn't technically out of the race - but doesn't have any realistic chance of winning. John McCain though - hahahahahha didn't see that one coming.

Hercuflea's post changed my mind.

yes hahahah!!!!

welcome to the club man

He is going to be the Republican nominee. I still have hope.

reason hes not up is because the votes are rigged

The world we live in is rigged.

Ron Paul can't be that smart though, he was still running for the republican normination when it was almost mathematically impossible for him to win...

TERRORIST. Global terrorism with nuclear weapons. Men with knifes.
Iran extremist killing machines. Threaten to blow up America in a nuclear winter wiping us off the map. Tyrannical threat taliban want to kill us and hate us armed with grenades tanks and guns. Extreme global terrorism 2001. New Horrific acts of terrorism killing Americans. Explosive Muslim suicidal maniacs with oil. Bombs of mass destruction and September 11 terrorist victims died. Threat of tyranny armed with nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Mad hostile religious rich psychopaths hating America. Global never before seen terrorism. Axis of evil and the evil terrorist. Harboring terrorist in Iran with nuclear weapons. SEPTEMBER 11 TERRORIST. Global threat. Global terrorism attack of America.

That's why you need bla bla muppet head for president!
[non negotiable brought to you by skull and bones secret society. Candidates: skull and bones. Problem, reaction, solution.]

Blame the Democrats. Blame the republicans. Blame the democrats. Blame the republicans. Blame the.....wait a sec.

Ron Paul supporters, can you stop crying.

He lost get over it. Nobody, with 7% of the votes overall will change America. McCain 1, Ron Paul 0.

Saying that Ron Paul supporters proberly don't understand something like mathematically impossible, or even impossible in general. Even Huckabee quited before Ron Paul. Also, didn't Huckabee beat Ron Paul.

proberly
quited

lol



I'm still voting for him.
Write in ftw, I personally know about 50 people that are writing him in.
I think anyone that voted for him(or wanted to but couldn't) should write him in.
Who's with me?!

His limited government ideals were pretty cool, but the whole racist thing makes him garbage:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/...l.newsletters/

A lot of his supporters say he had no idea who wrote it, but that's bullshit:

http://www.reason.com/news/show/124426.html

Even if they weren't totally his own words, but someone in his office, he would have approved it before it went out.

Wesley, ask yourself this, how can a Libertarian, who believes in freedom and rights for all men and women of all races and orientation, be a racist?

He can't be a racist, and those newsletters were infact published without his permission, please do your research before calling someone a racist.

I did do my research, but I also do not believe everything politcians say. He said they were published without his permission, but we don't really know, do we? Besides your claim of all Libertarians believing in equality for all simply isn't true. Look at David Duke, former leader of the KKK. He calls himself Libertarian, and he's racist. Here's a quote on Libertarianism from Wikipedia:

Libertarianism is a label used by a broad spectrum[1] of political philosophies which prioritize individual liberty and seek to minimize or even eliminate[2] the state.[3][4] What it means to be a libertarian in a political sense is a contentious issue, especially among libertarians themselves. There is no single theory that can be safely identified as the libertarian theory, and probably no single principle or set of principles on which all libertarians can agree.[5] Libertarian is most obviously, however, an antonym of authoritarian.[6]

Libertarians believe in limited government support, not necessarily equality for all races. Some Libertarians might believe this, but there are others who do not. Show me definitive evidence that those papers were published without permission. There were too many newsletters with negative racial conotations for him not to have known about it. Do some research .

I call it the founding fathers paradox.

Examples of this disapproval?
